how many ultrasounds?

For those who have been pregnant before, how many ultrasounds did you have done throughout your pregnancy? I read that the average is two, but I am only 8 weeks and have already had two and another one scheduled next month.

I had three with my last pregnancy and as long as all goes well that's how many I'll have with this one too. With DD I had one at 7 weeks, anatomy u/s at 21 weeks and final u/s to check positioning at the end of the pregnancy, I think about 36 weeks or so. I can't remember exactly for the last one. Is there a reason you've had a few already?

I had one at 6 weeks and was told I would have another at 12 if I wanted the down syndrome testing ( which we opted out of) and one at 21 for gender ( we also opted out) we will be getting one this wednesday for genetic testing bc I have a heart condition and that Wo prob be all until the end

Not sure how many it added up to but my OB has a machine in his office so I had one at every visit. Then I had the screening tests done (2) and I paid for a 3D/4D one at an "ultrasound boutique" to determine gender at 16 weeks (not reccommended, it was wrong! As it turns out no one should be predicting gender before 20 weeks).

I'm pretty sure all that added up to roughly 15+ ultrasounds. And FWIW my son is a bright litlte boy with no concerns of autism.

I expect it will be the same amount this time minus the boutique one I paid for myself ($99).

No, it's not a high risk pregnancy. I guess they did the first one at 6 weeks to determine the date and she said they check again at 8 weeks because miscarriages are high first trimester. After that I have a checkup each month but I am not sure if they each involve ultrasounds. I may get the down syndrome screening next month but I'm beginning to think maybe I should just do the blood test and not the ultrasound after reading those studies.

Hi!I'm considered high risk. I am 9 weeks and have had 3 us to date! I will continue to have weekly us in the first trimester. Then from weeks 20 on weekly again and additional perinat us every 4 weeks. A lot, I know! I had exact same with my DD is is 20 months and well above her age for language and WNL for all other areas of development. I work with children with autism as an SLP and was wondering if there were risks assoc with US but my DD is doing great (and I'm a worry wart)! Hope that helps!!!

I had at least 12 with my son because the birth defects screening found a single umbilical artery which meant extra monitoring. He is 19 months now and we have no concerns about autism. I read about a potential autism link with the 3d/4d ultrasounds so we opted out of that one. Hope this makes you feel better.

I'm 10 weeks and I've already had 5 ultrasounds. I had 2 prior miscarriages, difficulty becoming pregnant, issues with heavy bleeding, slow fetal heartbeat (it's normal now), and now I have shingles. If I stop having problems I'll likely only have one or two more. Here's hoping for the best...
